Talking Therapies Volunteer

We have an exciting opportunity for volunteers to support our Bradford District and Craven Talking Therapies team, welcoming patients and visitors entering Trust sites, supporting the facilitation of psychoeducational workshops and courses and sharing service promotion materials to other organisations across the district to promote the service.

You will have good communication skills and a friendly and approachable manner.

Days/time commitment: 3 hours per week (Mon- Fri office hours only) (location and day/time dependent on group sessions)

Bradford District Care Trust welcome people from all backgrounds and is keen to reflect the population we serve. We are currently underrepresented in terms of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic groups, and so applications from these groups are encouraged to apply.

Applicants with lived experience of mental health challenges and those with community language skills, are also encouraged to apply.
